Still implement salary increase according to regulations

Regarding the implementation of salary and allowance regimes for cadres after the reorganization, Mr. Tong Van Lai, Deputy Director of the Department of Wages and Social Insurance ( Ministry of Home Affairs ) said that the National Assembly Standing Committee has issued a Resolution, the Prime Minister has issued a Decision, and the Government Steering Committee also has 2 documents with detailed directions and many contents, including the issue of salary and allowances. These documents clearly state that in the process of reorganization of the apparatus, cadres, civil servants, public employees and workers receiving salaries from the budget who are directly affected will have their current salary and allowance regimes retained.

Specifically, the salary policy is implemented according to Resolution 730/2004/NQ-UBTVQH11 of the National Assembly Standing Committee; Decree 24/2023/ND-CP stipulating the basic salary level and Decision 128-QD/TW on the salary regime for cadres, civil servants and public employees of agencies and units under the Party, the Front and mass organizations.

Regarding the concerns of localities about whether officials will receive regular salary increases as before, Mr. Tong Van Lai said that the salary policy includes: Salary according to the salary scale (ie salary coefficient multiplied by the basic salary); salary increase regime and allowance regime. The documents guided by the National Assembly, the Government and the Steering Committee include all of these contents.

According to the Deputy Director of the Department of Wages and Social Insurance, officials and civil servants affected by the restructuring will continue to receive their previous salary regime. Therefore, salary increases for this group will still be implemented normally if they meet the prescribed conditions.

Rebuilding regional and special allowances for new communes

Regarding the issue of allowances, Mr. Tong Van Lai said that there are currently 18 types of allowances. These are: Leadership position; seniority beyond the framework; concurrent; regional; special; attraction; mobile; toxic, dangerous; job responsibility; serving security and defense; seniority; responsibility by profession; incentives by profession; special allowance for the armed forces; long-term work in particularly difficult areas; public service; Party and mass organization work; internal political protection and responsibility for commune-level positions.

"According to the guidelines, not all cadres and civil servants are entitled to these allowances. Those who are currently receiving any of these allowances will continue to receive that allowance when the organization is reorganized and their jobs or positions change," said the Deputy Director of the Department of Wages and Social Insurance.

According to Mr. Lai, there are currently two types of allowances that are widely applied and have a direct impact on the process of organizing the apparatus, especially at the commune level, which are regional allowances and special allowances.

Regarding regional allowances, before the organizational arrangement, the whole country had 4,397 communes out of a total of more than 10,000 communes enjoying this allowance. Special allowances were applied to 255 out of more than 10,000 communes.

“After the reorganization of communes, the State has not yet prescribed allowances for these cases because the number is too large and too complicated,” said Mr. Tong Van Lai.

The Ministry of Home Affairs has compiled statistics and is developing a very specific plan for regulations related to regional allowances and special allowances after the restructuring. The Department of Wages and Social Insurance has reported to the Minister of Home Affairs the plans after reviewing and will seek opinions from 34 provinces and cities.

Mr. Tong Van Lai also suggested that localities continue to review these two types of allowances to proactively develop new allowance plans for new areas. When the Ministry of Home Affairs solicits opinions, there is a practical and scientific basis to propose the most appropriate allowance level./.
